About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Bladder Catheters Lubricated With a Biofilm Disruptive Gel, in Reducing Catheter-associated Bacteriuria (CAB) Compared to Standard of Care: A PILOT Clinical Trial

This is a 2-week, single-site, randomized study in adults requiring short-term (≤ 14 days) catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to either the biofilm disrupting gel (BLASTX) or SOC (McKesson Jelly) lubricated catheters. Urine and/or catheter DNA analysis will be obtained at catheter insertion, 2, 5, 7 and 14 days after catheterization.

Read the detailed description

This is a 2-week, single-site, randomized controlled pilot study in adults requiring short-term < 14 days catheterization. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to either the BLASTX or SOC lubricated catheters.

Urine and catheter DNA analysis will be obtained at catheter insertion, 2 to 3 days after catheterization and at 5, 7 and 14 days if catheterization was indicated for either duration.

Informed consent discussion will be completed, ICF will be signed, prior to any study procedures.

Subjects will be included only if all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria have been met.

After randomization, subjects will be followed, urine samples will be collected at each scheduled visit and the catheters will be collected upon removal.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BLASTX Lubricated CatheterExperimentalSubjects for which catheterization is prescribed will be catheterized with a Foley lubricated with BLASTX. This gel lubricates with the same viscosity as McKesson Jelly and has a biofilm disruptive active ingredient.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Urine microorganisms DNA analysis

    Change in microorganisms in the test group compared to the control group.

    Measured: Up to 14 days

  2. Catheter microorganisms DNA analysis

    Change in microorganisms in the test group compared to the control group.

    Measured: Up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

    Number of instances of clinically symptomatic UTI in the test versus the control group

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BLASTX Gel and McKesson Jelly in people with Urinary Tract Infections, run by Next Science TM at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: trouble with enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Urine microorganisms DNA analysis (time frame: Up to 14 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Nov 2023.
